And finally....Grant got a new backpack! (By the way, there were like 20 other pictures of lots of little gifts but I decided to not include them because this entry is already ridiculously long). After we were done with the present giving, we talked Grant into giving us...
Siege got a game called "What the F*ck" that's supposed to help you instigate naughtiness at parties. (Yeah, like this fuggin' guy needs help in that department).
Siege gave us all awesome, limited-edition signed prints! Fatty got this portrait of himself (that was an out-take from Fiasco's first band photo shoot that Siege did).
Grant got a giant thing of massage oil - because everyone knows that he's super into hours of candle-lit foreplay and erotic massage. That guy's a dyed-in-the-wool sensualist!
Amanda prepares to open the giant, over-sized nativity scene card that I got for here that played music when you open it! (The MIDI version of "Silent Night, Holy Night" if I recall correctly).
And Fatty got The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dating. Hahahahah. See? Are you starting to see a pattern here? (Check out his "Haha - fuck you guys" face).
Meredith got The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (which is, hand DOWN, the worst movie of all time. It's one of those movies that would usually be so bad that it's good, but this one goes so far, that it veered back around to being bad again) and Back Door to Heaven.
Amanda shows off The Blind Watchmaker (which HAD to be gift from the Fatty - he's been all about Richard Dawkins since before he became a household name).
Now that my dad is retired and my mom is still working, she said it's only fair that HE should start cooking dinner a few times a week. She's been saying this for years and I think it's yet to happen. So for Christmas she got him a few of Rachael Ray's books to help him along.
Sunday was Christmas Day for the Battjers! It was kind of quiet this year because my brother was out in Ohio with his girlfriend's family so it was just me and...
After the lights were on, we decorated the tree with ornaments and put all the presents we'd wrapped earlier in the evening underneath! The tree looked gorgeous, but it was definitely lacking something. Then it hit us, we didn't have a star or an angel to top the tree off with! So we decided to look around Fatty's apartment and improvise. Grant poked around under Fatty's bed and found...
We got her Oprah's 20th Anniversary DVD collection (which was actually released on the day of her birthday!). Look how happy my mom is! (And check out my brother's magnificent "Get a load of Oprah") Hahah. Happy Birthday, mom! We love you!
Sunday morning = time to go home. While packing, we sorted through all the schwag bags we'd grabbed to see if there was anything worth keeping. The most puzzling schwag bag we received had to be the one that contained only two things: A t-shirt promoting the nation-wide release of the indie film Garden State (size: XXXL) and a single packet of Astroglide personal lubricant. I can honestly say, my curiousity about the film was certainly piqued! But the award for "best freebie" has to go to...
...like these studded (studded??) Rough Rider condoms. (Check out that sexy-ass saggy-titted lady on the package. Her vagina can't wait to pummeled by a bumpy cock!)
